The first day of my last normal AF was June 11. On my normal cycle i should have gotten AF the week starting July 13th ending July 19th. Not sure whether or not i concieved and since AF hadn't arrived yet saturday the 19th i took a HPT which came up negative. So i figured I'd sit back relax and wait. By the following saturday (last saturday) still no signs of AF or anything else except anticipation I took a second HPT also displaying a negative result. Could I still be preg.? Take another test this weekend? has this ever happened to anyone else?

My LMP was 6/26. I'm one week late and have taken three pregnacy tests--all negative!!! My obsession with TTC is costing me! Anyway, good luck to you and I'm sending baby dust your way!

I am going through the same as you are right now. However, I also went through this with my first child. I was at the begin of my 2nd trimester before I got a BFP. During that time I did a blood test once for 3 months and did 11 HPT. My 12th HPT finally came up with a BFP on April 26, 1998. My son was conceived at the beginning of February, 1998. It is very possible that you just carry a low HCG level and it takes awhile to show up on any tests. Don't give up hope. Dr's don't know everything and tests aren't 100% reliable. If you are really concerned go visit your OB/GYN and ask for a Vaginal ultrasound/sonogram. That is what I am doing on the 12th when I go and visit mine. I refuse to be in my 2nd trimester before I find out again.

I hope everything works out for you.

Lots of baby dust to you and everyone!!!!!!

Hi there! I feel your frustration. My last normal AF was June 25 and now I am 7-8 days late. I already tested once (BFN) because my cycle is usually very regular. I have been this late once before but I can't help wondering what if ??!! My DH and I aren't really trying but we're also not not trying if you know what I mean. This would be a wonderful surprise! Best of luck to you and hang in there!

min76- our cycles are very similar my last LMP was June 27th, i have a 28 day cycle so I am 9-10 days late. With three BFN...and it's soooooooooooooooooooooooo nerve racking because i've had all these symptoms, but i don't know if it's in my head or real, the only real thing i KNOW for sure, is that AF is way late............hang in there and we'll keep eachother posted.

it is so weird to be reading about women with the same exact problems as me. im just about the mirror image of u all. im a week late with some symptoms and have gotten 2 negative hpt. i too am unsure what to do next. do i take another one next week? or call a dr. none of my friends have ever had kids so i don't have anyone to really ask. i just came off the pill after 8 yrs 2 mths ago with 2 normal on the dot afs. i wasnt trying but wasnt preventing either. but i do know that the mind can influence the body as well. but you all make me feel not as alone so thanks. and good luck to u all.

Hey all...so I called the clinic today and told them my situation...sometimes it bugs me how unconcerned they seem.. =) She said well I was ONLY 9 or 10 days late...LOL She has no idea how much torture one can put them selves through in 9 or 10 days and 3 BFN's...but she told me to wait one more week and either test again, or come in for a test...so I am going to try to hand in there one more week and then I will go in....we'll see what happens..

I wish all you ladies the best of luck in finding out quickly the answers you wanna hear. Unfortunately unlike most of you at this point in my life i am not quiet ready to have a child of my own. My boyfriend and I have been together for three years, very much in love planning on getting married but waiting till i graduate college. Im hoping AF shows up any day now but at this point i just dont know. what i do know is that it seems like for the past three years every july and sometimes one other month of the year AF just decides to show up after about 50 days from my LMP but with this time even after no symptoms of either AF or being preg (if anything decreased hunger)and it being 45 days since my lmp i dont know what to think. hopefully im just stressing my self out over nothing.

I took another HPT (I know, I'm weak!) and got a BFN. I guess I'll wait one more week and test again. All this wondering is driving me nuts. Well good luck to all!
